GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM2484E is an isolated data transceiver with ±15 kV
ESD protection suitable for high speed, half- or full-duplex
communication on multipoint transmission lines. For halfduplex operation, the transmitter outputs and receiver inputs
share the same transmission line. Transmitter Output Pin Y
links externally to Receiver Input Pin A, and Transmitter
Output Pin Z links externally to Receiver Input Pin B.
Designed for balanced transmission lines, the ADM2484E
complies with ANSI TIA/EIA RS-485-A-1998 and ISO 8482:
1987(E). The device employs Analog Devices, Inc., iCoupler®
technology to combine a 3-channel isolator, a three-state
differential line driver, and a differential input receiver into a
single package.
The differential transmitter outputs and receiver inputs feature
electrostatic discharge circuitry that provides protection up to
±15 kV using the human body model (HBM). The logic side of
the device can be powered with either a 5 V or a 3.3 V supply,
whereas the bus side requires an isolated 3.3 V supply.
The device has current-limiting and thermal shutdown features
to protect against output short circuits and situations where bus
contention causes excessive power dissipation.

COMMON-MODE TRANSIENT IMMUNITY

CM is the maximum common-mode voltage slew rate that can be sustained while maintaining specification-compliant operation. VCM is the common-mode potential
difference between the logic and bus sides. The transient magnitude is the range over which the common mode is slewed. The common-mode voltage slew rates
apply to both rising and falling common-mode voltage edges.
